[Elsie]

I do not read scripture to see if I can challenge the Nicene Creed or Apostles Creed, I don’t read them to challenge that the Church has defined that God has provided 7 sacraments as the “normative means” thru which he provides the Church and her members the Grace to live the Christian life [and given my some of my less than charitable posts here lately, given that I am a faithful Catholic, I feel quite certain I will confess that I acted somewhat uncharitably towards some protestant folks on the internet].

Congratulations on the longest sentence (so far) in this thread.

I sorry that you do not feel a need to question that what you have been taught is correct.

You'd make a poor Berean.

Elsie:

Well I am not a Berean, a Catholic, not the best one, but one none the less. And thanks for the congrats, I do have the ability to string some long words together don’t I? Sister Mary always told me I talked to much in class so I guess intrinsically I took those skills to paper and pen.
